Limited Edition, One-Time Pressing!
Classic Studio One Cuts on Orange Double Vinyl LP!
Features Freddie McGregor, Willie Williams, Cornell Campbell, Alton Ellis & More!

Soul Jazz Records celebrate 25 years of working in partnership with Studio One with 2026 editions of FIVE of their best-selling CLASSIC Studio One collections all released on limited edition one-off pressing colored double vinyl.

The special limited edition featured albums are Studio One Funk, Studio One Dub, Studio One Ska, Studio One Roots and Studio One Classics.

Studio One Roots set the standard for Soul Jazz Records' long-standing series and features many of the classic artists from Clement 'Sir Coxsone' Dodd's mighty roster of reggae.

This album includes Freddie McGregor, Willie Williams, Cornell Campbell, Alton Ellis, Devon Russell alongside some of the defining in-house groups of Jamaican reggae history - The Sound Dimension, Brentford All-Stars, The Skatalites, New Establishment and more. The album is filled with a mixture of seminal cuts and super-rarities from the vast vaults of 13 Brentford Road.

Stand-out tracks include Alton Ellis's "Blackish White," a surreal and powerful Afro-centric dream, Count Ossie's Rastafarian drummers' genre-defying interpretation of Booker T and The MGs "Meditation," Willie Williams's awe-inspiring versioning of the Skatalites' seminal Rastafari anthem "Addis Ababa" and many, many more.

Original sleevenotes by Lloyd Bradley (author of When Reggae Was King), compiled by Mark Ainley (Honest Jon's), high-quality Soul Jazz mastering, wicked images of Count Ossie and the Mystic Revelation of Rastafari on the cover, and a rare image of Clement Dodd and musicians inside the studio at Studio One on the full-color inner sleeves.

The music of this compilation is of a rare, rare beauty and is essential to anyone's reggae collection.
